Muse With Me
Note of warning to all lovers of
children and dog lovers. BEWARE
of a dog poisoner in the south part
of town. Some family pets have
been victims of poisoning recently,
and one alarmed parent has asked
for a plea of consideration an the
part of the small Children in the
neighborhood. Dog poisoning is a
Vicious, cowardly adt and is one
which could easily end tragically.
A Potpourri from the Musifact File:
Carson County has been placed on
a proposed system of Travel Trails
for Texas. The counties of Arm-
strong, Bailey, Borden, Briscoe,
Carson, Castro, Deaf Smith, Hutch-
inson, Potter,. Lamb, Lubbock and
Randall are among the ones mak-
ing up the Texas Plains Trail. The
basic idea behind the trails system
is to guide tourists off the high-
speed express byways in order that
they might better appreciate Tex-
as’ scenic, historic and recreational
attractions . . . The field is ripe
here in our own community for this
type of attraction and for the pres-
ervation of historic spots . . . Did
you know that a pretzel is a prayer?
Along about 610 A.D. an imagina-
tive monk somewhere in southern
France or northern Italy used up
his dough scraps to make tidbits
for treating dutiful children who
said their prayers properly. He put
the distinctive twist in the dough
to represent children’s arms folded
in prayer, and called1 the result
“pretiola,” or “little reward” in
Latin. Thus the genuine pretzel
properly twisted is a religious sym-
bol . . . The “swinging sixties”
have had their impact even on
those homebodies who like to dig
in the backyard soil . . . The styl-
ish trend in gardening now dictates
that you let your garden “go to
pots” as there is a major revival
(of container gardening. Gals, let’s
face it in the realm of dressing styl-
ishly. Edith Head says American
women can still dress well Without
a new wardrobe every year if one
sticks to the three basic looks or
lines — one piece dress, belted or
not, two piece, like a pullover, and
the one-piece Shirtmaker. “A dress
should be -tight enough to prove you
(are a woman, but loose enough to
prove you are a lady ...” Lots
of grand ladies at the Grandmother-
Granddaughter Tea hosted by the
Future Homemakers Of America
(this week ... Be musing again.
Rut'll Circle Meets

Hall of the Methodist Church Tues-
day morning. Wanda Loekridge led
the study “Dying To Live”. Present
Were Mmes. Oland Butler, Lee Roy-
ce Loekridge, J. T. Hill and Jack
Dupy.

FINAL REPORT GIVEN ON
FEED GRAIN DIVERSION
The final report on 1969 Sign-up
for Feed Grains shows a total of
41.3 million acres (31%) of the 133
million acres feed grain -base will be
(diverted. 35% of Texas’ 12.6 million
feed grain base, or 4.4 million acres
were pledged to be diverted. Total
intended diversion is nearly 5 mil-
lion acres greater than the record
36.7 million acres established! in 19-*
65. It is 7 million acres more than
the total for 1968. This should stren-
gthen grain prices this fall unless
bumper crops offset the decrease in
acres with -higher per acre average
yields.
